After the tour of Pakistan,
the chairman of selectors Raj Singh Dungarpur asked Mohammad Azharuddin to
take on the captaincy which he retained for the next six and a half years.

Until now there was usually one manager on tour, often with a Test cricket
background, but the Indian Board decided that in future there would two
managers with separate responsibilities for administration and for cricket. However,
Bedi’s reign as India’s
first ‘cricket manager’ or coach was brief. His uncompromising approach
became renowned after making furious threats to throw members of the team out
of the plane into the sea (!) after losing to New Zealand, and after eight
months he was replaced.

The selectors' first move was
to replace Srikkanth with new captain Mohammad Azharuddin.
